Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes
35133_Geo_Michigan_Cover.qxd 11/13/07 10:26 AM Page 1 “The Geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes” is written to augment any introductory earth science, environmental geology, geologic, or geographic course offering, and is designed to introduce students in Michigan and the Great Lakes to important regional geologic concepts and events. Although Michigan’s geologic past spans the Precambrian through the Holocene, much of the rock record, Pennsylvanian through Pliocene, is miss- ing. Glacial events during the Pleistocene removed these rocks. However, these same glacial events left behind a rich legacy of surficial deposits, various landscape features, lakes, and rivers. Michigan is one of the most scenic states in the nation, providing numerous recre- ational opportunities to inhabitants and visitors alike. Geology of the region has also played an important, and often controlling, role in the pattern of settlement and ongoing economic development of the state. Vital resources such as iron ore, copper, gypsum, salt, oil, and gas have greatly contributed to Michigan’s growth and industrial might. Ample supplies of high-quality water support a vibrant population and strong industrial base throughout the Great Lakes region. These water supplies are now becoming increasingly important in light of modern economic growth and population demands. This text introduces the student to the geology of Michigan and the Great Lakes region. It begins with the Precambrian basement terrains as they relate to plate tectonic events. It describes Paleozoic clastic and carbonate rocks, restricted basin salts, and Niagaran pinnacle reefs. Quaternary glacial events and the development of today’s modern landscapes are also discussed. -

Civil Religion, Fundamentalism , and the Politics and Policies of George W. Bush Manfre d Brocker University of Cologne, Germany Countl ess observers , especially in Europe , tend to view the politics of George W. Bush as being strongly inspired by Christian "fundamentalism" and powered by "mis sionary " zeal . This article examines the justice of such an assessment. It comes to a different conclusion , argu ing that in his speeches , the current President of the Unit ed States mostly uses "civil religious " metaphors and images, but rarely those of Christian denominations ; that he only adopts the domestic policy agenda of his party 's Christian Right wing where this seems expedient on electoral grounds ; and that his foreign policy is based on American security interests, and not on any "funda mentalist" dogmas . hen the preparations for military intervention in Iraq were in full swing, many church leaders in Europe W were heard to voice criticism of the course taken by the US government.
